I'M BACK! I'm home again and back to writing! Did you all miss me my lovelies? Who cares, you didn't come here to listen to me, and you came to read awesomeness so awesomeness I will give! P.S I honestly can't spell awesomeness. Seriously, I spelt it wrong three times in this little paragraph alone.

Chapter 9

Cat & Mouse

"Seriously, what have I done to deserve this?" I sigh to myself as I pick up my bag off of the floor. I start making my way back to the stairs when I hear a voice.

"I love you. Forever and ever and ever."

Well I'm flattered but I DON'T KNOW YOU!

I nearly make a run for my life until I see that the voice is coming from Laito who's staring at the full moon.

"I love you despite myself whether you want me to or not. I've never forgotten you; your memory haunts me every moment. I remember the sound of your voice, your intoxicating scent; I remember everything."

I wonder whose he's talking about. Knowing him the possibilities are endless. What? You think I don't know about Laito being a playboy. In the past two weeks that I've been here he's been suspended for five days in total for his perverted nature.

"Who's there? I can hear you breathing." He suddenly says.

Crap!

I sigh to myself once more, momentarily closing my eyes when I open them to find Laito staring at me.

"AH! You lot have got to stop doing that!" I jump in surprise.

"Little Bitch. Don't you know that eavesdropping isn't polite?"

I snort unladylike at his comment.

"Why do you think that Reiji is so strung up on disciplining me?"

He gives a faint chuckle in reply, "Oh, but you heard things that weren't meant for you, am I right?"

"A few things." I answer nervously, masking it with a shrug.

"Well what should we do about that?" He suddenly grabs hold of my neck cutting off my air supply.

"Laito. Life good, death bad." I struggle to say.

"Oh, but bad girls need to be punished." He simpers in delight as I let go of my bag to tug uselessly at his hands. When he slams me into the wall behind.

"So tell me, Little Bitch, where would you like it?" I shudder in disgust at the fact that he has one of his legs in-between mine. "I suppose I should start where you're most sensitive."

"My thirst will be quite hard to quench this evening." He states as my vision starts to fail on me, "That's because we Creatures of the Night become ve-ry thirsty when the moon is full. We become so thirsty that it almost drives us mad."

What, madder than usual?

My question is answered when he bites me, his bite almost seems desperate and feral.

Once his thirst is (hopefully) quenched, he pulls back with a surprised expression.

"It couldn't be…"

Not wanting to see what he has to say, I push him away from me and sprint down the stairs with angry tears falling from my eyes, the only witness being the full moon.

I run. Not caring where my feet were taking me. Blurry eyes clouded my vision and my neck stinging from the remains of Laito's bite when all of a sudden I encounter a phone box.

Inserting some spare change I keep in my blazer pocket, I robotically punch in my foster father's number holding the phone to my ear.

I hear someone picking up on the other end.

"Dad?" I start not caring about our non-existent biological relationship, "Its Eliza. The place you sent me too is crazy, I don't know what to do!" I sniff holding back fresh tears and wiping away old ones.

"Aww, Little Bitch, you cut me to the core with your words." My eyes widen as I recognise the sick nickname.

"What the hell?!" I breathe, my heart thumping rapidly.

"Ha ha! I know everything there is to know about you, Little Bitch." Laito chuckles in a sing-song voice.

I place the phone down with a shaking hand and take fearful, shallow breathes when…

BANG!

"AAAHHH!" I scream in fear as I jump to the sources of the sound behind me.

To find Laito's delighted face grinning back, holding a black phone exactly like my fathers'.

Suddenly enraged, I stomp out of the phone booth and question him,

"How the hell did you get my dad's phone?!"

"Aww it won't be fun if I just tell you." He teases. "But did you enjoy your momentary freedom?" He grabs hold of me.

"Get your filthy, perverted hands off me!" I struggle against him, cursing his smirking face at my failing attempts.

My rosary untucks itself from its usual hiding place and catches Laito's eye.

"Do you want to know a secret, Little Bitch?" he smirks.

"Like I'll believe anything that comes out of your filthy mouth." I spit.

"You might want to think again, Little Bitch. You see, you were given up by the very church you out your faith in." He points to my rosary, the only thing left of my mother other than her old sewing kit.

"You liar!"

"Oh, am I?" He raises an eyebrow in glee and I see that he really is telling the truth.

Fuck.

"It is my great pleasure to present tonight's special guest Tougo Sakamaki." A voice interrupts us.

Laito lets go of me, interested in what the news had to say about his…

"Tougo Sakamaki. But that means he's your father!" I realise.

"He may be so, but for me he is nothing but the object of my hatred." Laito suddenly turns hostile and cold.

"At least you actually have one to hate." I murmur with sadness as I look up at the screen, only seeing white hair since glare blocked out most of his face.

I moment of realisation hit me like a ton of bricks.

"His name isn't Tougo Sakamaki. It's Karl Heinz." I state along forgotten memory before I black out in a dream-like state.

I wake up on my bed God knows how long later.

"Geez, I'm blacking out too much. This can't be good for me." I walk over to gaze out of my window when I see a building not far from the mansion.

A church.

Glancing down at my rosary, I head out and run, not stopping until I reached the alter. Somehow meek before the great stained glassed window depicting red roses.

I kneel before taking off my rosary to clasp it in between my hands. Most people pray just by speaking, but I like to pray by singing my problems, it helps me ok?

"Why do you cry child?" The Lord says.

"Is it because I have given you this test?

You shall succeed child." The Lord says.

And I ask, "If I do will you let me be,

Up in heaven along with my family?"

My head snaps up as I sense a presence other than my own.

"What a lovely little ditty, Little Bitch. Too bad the figure you call 'God' won't hear it."

I turn to him standing my ground. "You leave me alone. And if I ever hear you doubting my faith again, I will end you."

"Oh will you? I would love to see you trying to end an immortal creature." He simply laughs.

"Leave me alone." I repeat as I make my way past him towards the mansion once more.

"No promises, Little Bitch. But let me give you some advice." He grabs my elbow.

"As if I'd take advice from you." I yank my arm away from him and continue forward.

"All right. But you should know that if you want something, you're going to have to do a lot more than just pray." He says.

"Go to hell Laito." I could feel the smirk on his face as the early moments of dawn shine on my face.

"Oh I will. But I'll be dragging you down with me, Little Bitch. With immense pleasure."

Yeah. Eliza kinda hates Laito right now. But will love blossom later on? Only I know! *Evil witch laugh*

Thank you for putting up with my week long holiday. It's great to be back but school starts on Monday. *Sobs hysterically* I'll try to update when I can but until then I'll leave you with hugs and kisses. *Sends out hugs and kisses*

Bye!
